Overseas Home League match!

[bigfooty]

I think its not a terrible idea but unfortunately the games would probably have be high-profile ones to generate much of a spectacle. I mean, I can't see Newcastle vs Bolton doing much to raise the profile of the Premiership.

[Radar]

think its a very good idea and could help the club increase its fanbase.

The NFL game at Wembley was a success and this could be a good chance to show the states about the wonderful game of soccer!

We already know how wonderful soccer is...We have David Beckham

A game in Australia would be nice

cant see it ever happening though

You can just imagine it though?

All those fair weather fans that turned up for the L.A. Galaxy game would snap up all the tickets in next to no time leaving loyal/die hard supporters like ourselves watching it on the telly.

That's what would happen.

Shocking idea IMO.

Funny - when Liverpool met Porthmouth in Hong Kong (may be a little different in that place though), there were almost even numbers of Porthmouth-supporter present as the numbers of LFC-supporters. I can be that even smaller teams like Sunderland or Reading have their own fanbase around in Asia. I do fully understand though, that it would smash any preparations for the match itself - and the next match. The only real option would then be like switcing - Anfield to Nou Camp for one match ...

If you call 200 versus 35,000 even then I suppose so ... Pompey fans are the noisiest sods around

If Liverpool are gonna play abroad I think The Irish deserve a game in dublin.

Not sure how I feel about all this .. pre season tours sure ... actual games ...my gut says no

i think it's a horrible horrible idea, one of the worst i have heard. liverpool's home is at anfield and nowhere else...

imagine how sunderland would feel about playing their home game against liverpool in asia, where 90% of the fans would be liverpool supporters, clubs count on their home games for points and that might be taken away from them for a commercial purpose, it's a very bad idea imo...

[Guest]

Horrible idea. Absolutely horrible. If people want to see the team play live the can get off their lazy ****ing arses and come over here.

Well, for people who live near Anfield and don't go to every match, then I would call them lazy, not those who live thousand of kilometers away and who'll pay huge sums commuting to the ground.

[Revo]

I've just seen that in a few years Premier League teams may be asked to play one match a season in an overseas location.

Just wondered how people feel about this? Personally, being overseas myself I think its great - but season ticket holders may not agree!

Also, where is everone's preference if we did have to play overseas? I'd like to see us play a home match in SE Asia, although the way things are going it might well be Dubai!!!

dublin once a year seems about right to me

[Harv]

We would sell out the MCG twice over if they came to Melbourne IMO.

thats 200,000 people

Terrible idea !!!!

Once a team starts to move away from home it loses a bit of its identity.
Then it is a short step to franchises and teams moving city every few years , just like the yanks.

NO NO NO NO, and NO

[DaHongDe]

Doubt it would be Dublin - its relatively easy for fans to get to Liverpool from Dublin, plus it probably wouldn't be seen as making the most of the marketing potential of the EPL. Its more likely to be Asia/Australia/US.

[Kopite_Colin]

No thanks. Liverpool only. You can hold the Charity Shield, the FA Cup Final, the League Cup Final , the UEFA & CL Finals any where you like. But you leave LFC's matches where they belong - at home. This is Liverpool FC...we play in Liverpool.

[DannyMan2006]

Maybe some League Cup games?

Some teams struggle to fill their gates for those middle of the road ties, and teams play their reserves, so good tidings all round.
